RISK-8 Rohlck Paper Risk Adjustment Limited Data

Abstract:

This paper expands on work by Dr. Stephen Book, MCR by addressing additional distributions in performing “quick-risk” analyses. We provide an overview of the purpose and methodology and then develop the equations for implementation.

Given a simple point estimate, this methodology, when combined with some assumptions, allows the decision maker to estimate the high confidence cost/benefits. The methodology is developed for three different assumed statistical distributions (Triangular, Normal & Log-Normal). Additionally a high-level discussion of cost/benefits risk analysis will be covered.
